Tbh, my only issue with reddit is who owns it and the way in which they exploit that. As a product I'm pretty happy with it, and the thing that made it reduce in quality, losing a shitload of its moderators because reddit fucked them over, ISNT an area that Lemmy beats it in. When I started getting my foot out the door I started paying attention to how many mods an instance had when I blocked it, and the majority of Lemmy instances had like ONE active mod. Lemmy is effectively unmoderated, and I'm not a fan of that, especially with some of the population it has.

Im in the exact same page as you. Seeing a mod remove comments because people weren't capitalizing another users pronouns was the straw that broke my back the first time I yeeted Lemmy, the next time I came back to lemmy there was a whole thing about u/vegan banning people for saying that feeding a vegan diet to a carnivore pet was animal abuse. I'd LIKE lemmy to be usable if you dont have a tolerance for extremism, but I'm not holding my breath
Is that not what mugging usually is?
Damn, I own this game, its worth boosting so it sucks I had to downvote xD
Fruit does not belong on a non dessert Pizza, and unless you are a horticulturalist or other form of plant scientist, a tomato is not a fruit (Do you put tomatoes in fruit salad?)
Yeah, I know, I was just making a joke =P Thank you for the clarification though! My joke wasnt clear enough that it was a joje!
Old McDonald did WHAT NOW!?!
Yeah, dont. I just did and its rough. I mean I guess if you watch pimple popping videos you'll be fine, but bleeeeggghhhhhh
Cool, union busting is unfortunately one of my own battle lines, so hopefully this means I wont have to avoid Starbucks for long! (Because yeah, I guess I am avoiding them now)
Ideologically thats nice, real world logistically, it was nice being able to easily track down a liquid snack on my normal commute to work, a timeslot which usually doesnt give much room for investigation and testing
and further, it being a chain meant if my commute ever changed or I wasnt in the area for whatever reason, I could still hit up another location easily and get the same treat
Damnit, they're Union Busters? Fuck man, there goes my adult sugar drinks D=

Nah man, I just dont want idiotic and extreme takes to be like 30% of what I see. Someone who champions lgbtq rights while defending Russia's invasion of Ukraine, or a Vegan who nutritionally starves their pet because they think their ideals trump their cat's nutritional needs, or even a self identified Narcissist who thinks the word Narcissist is an Ablist slur are NOT opinions worth reading, but thats exactly the kind of bulshit thats uncommon at its very rarest on this site. Further, moderation keeps threads on point, and doesnt drag EVERY instance into whatever bulshit drama that is hitting lemmy this week
